The classic 1997 PC version of Resident Evil is now available on GOG. Fans can now play this iconic survival horror game on modern systems, thanks to GOG’s updated release.
The GOG version is based on the original 1997 PC port, not the later GameCube remake. It is priced at $9.99. The game includes modern improvements like new rendering options, better cutscene timing, and an updated DirectX renderer. It also supports modern controllers, including Xbox Series and DualSense.
